"I am a nun, trained and self-composed, established mindfulness and entered peace like an arrow."

‘Going for Refuge represents your positive emotional response - in fact your total response - to the spiritual ideal when that ideal is revealed to your spiritual vision. Such is its appeal that you cannot but give yourself to it.’ Going for Refuge

‘Ultimately, of course, the distinction between the two ideals falls to the ground. You cannot really gain Enlightenment for the benefit of others unless you are a person of considerable spiritual development yourself, and you cannot develop spiritually yourself unless you are at the same time mindful of the needs of other people.  In the long run spiritual individualism and spiritual altruism coincide.’ Going for Refuge

“The Enlightenment experience is not self-contained in a one-sided way. It contains an element of communication and therefore an element of spiritual friendship, even transcendental friendship – friendship on the highest conceivable level.’ Stream of Stars
